Wives ban husbands from Italian cafe with “Sexy” barista/owner #LauraMaggi; but the media…

Tipicamente Italiano: the Mail covers it thusly:

Sexpresso: Wives ban their husbands from visiting Italian cafe where busty barmaid serves up drinks in skimpy outfits

After eight years running a bar, Laura Maggi suddenly found men beating a path to her door.

Not for the quality of her coffee and aperitifs, but because she had started appearing for work in highly revealing outfits.

Hundreds of male customers flocked there day and night, leaving their cars double parked in the surrounding streets.

Congestion became such a problem that the lady mayor announced she was considering an emergency bylaw to limit traffic in the area.

Bagnolo’s mayor has banned her husband from going to the bar

‘I have upset the women but that’s not my problem,’ says Laura Maggi

Attracted so many customers that the mayor is now considering an emergency bylaw to cope with the huge amount of traffic…

…and elsewhere and elsewhere and related; but the thing that gets me is that the Mail’s article is pretty clearly 50% Facebook images – including the one of the town mayor Cristina Almici – plus the “street panorama” looks awfully like it might be a capture from Google Street View or similar.

Recycled story much? Anyway – to crit the story itself:

  1. They’re Italians, what do you expect, have you never seen TV over there?
  2. There are no photos anywhere, in whatever state of dress, where Ms Maggi is not smiling.

That’s all that’s necessary for understanding.

  1. Can’t help drawing mental comparisons to

    – but again that’s an Italian thing.

    Content filter “Daily Mail” triggered ;-).

    I’m a bit surprised not to see them chuck in a mention of Silvio Berlusconi for good measure…
